President Donald Trump continued his criticism of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday, responding to her announcement that she plans to retire from Congress when her current term ends in 2026, as reported by The Independent Journal Review.
Pelosi, 85, who has served in the House since 1987 and led Democrats for two decades, said she would not seek re-election after completing her 20th term.

Her decision marks the end of one of the longest political careers in modern U.S. history and closes a chapter defined by years of partisan battles with Trump.
On Truth Social, the president wrote:
“Nancy Pelosi, the old and broken political hack who impeached me twice and lost, is finally calling it ‘quits.’ She illegally made a fortune in the Stock Market, ripped off the American Public, and was a disaster for America. I’m glad to see the stench of Nancy Pelosi go!!!”
Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have faced repeated scrutiny over their stock trading activity.

According to Bloomberg data cited by the New York Post, Paul Pelosi earned roughly 54% returns on his investments in 2024, outperforming most major hedge funds. Newsmax reported that Trump attributed her success to “inside information.”
In an August post, Trump had accused Pelosi and her husband of using privileged access to benefit financially.
“Crooked Nancy Pelosi, and her very ‘interesting’ husband, beat every Hedge Fund in 2024. In other words, these two very average ‘minds’ beat ALL of the Super Geniuses on Wall Street, thousands of them,” Trump wrote.
“It’s all INSIDE INFORMATION! Is anybody looking into this??? She is a disgusting degenerate, who impeached me twice, on NO GROUNDS, and LOST! How are you feeling now, Nancy???”
Pelosi, who served two stints as Speaker of the House — first from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023 — oversaw two impeachments of President Trump, both of which resulted in acquittals.
The rivalry between the two has been one of the most contentious in recent political history.
One of the most notable flashpoints occurred in 2020, when Pelosi tore up a copy of Trump’s State of the Union address in front of cameras moments after his speech concluded.

Speaking to reporters Thursday in the Oval Office, President Trump again addressed Pelosi’s departure.
“I think she’s an evil woman. I’m glad she’s retiring. I think she did the country a great service by retiring,” Trump said. “I think she was a tremendous liability for the country.”

Pelosi has not publicly responded to Trump’s remarks. Her announcement comes as several senior Democratic lawmakers prepare to step aside ahead of the next election cycle.
